Crypto Scam Recovery

Let’s talk

Practice

Cryptocurrency scams can be fast, convincing and extremely difficult to untangle. Victims are often told their money is growing, only to find withdrawals blocked, accounts frozen or the “broker” suddenly impossible to contact. Mendelsons Limited help people recover money lost to crypto scams by tracing payments, challenging banks and pursuing recovery on a no-win, no-fee basis.

Let’s talk

How crypto scam recovery works

Crypto scam recovery usually involves looking at how the money was sent, where it went and whether the bank, payment provider or platform could have done more to protect you. We review the transactions, gather evidence, trace the movement of funds where possible and pursue the strongest route to recovery. This may involve complaints to banks, payment providers, crypto platforms or the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Crypto scams come in many forms. The most frequent ones we see include:

Fake Crypto Investment Platforms

Professional-looking websites showing fake profits and blocking withdrawals when victims try to access their money.

Fake Brokers and Advisers

Scammers posing as investment experts who pressure victims into sending larger and larger payments.

Romance and Crypto Scams

Online relationships used to build trust before introducing a fake crypto investment opportunity.

Phishing and Wallet Scams

Fake emails, websites or messages designed to steal passwords, recovery phrases or wallet access.

Screen-Sharing Scams

Fraudsters asking victims to share their screen or install remote access software to “help” with an account.

Recovery Fee Scams

Scammers targeting victims again by pretending they can recover lost crypto in exchange for upfront fees.

How Mendelsons Limited Can Help

  • 1

    We review the transactions

    We look at how the payments were made, who received them and whether the financial institutions involved should have identified warning signs.

  • 2

    We trace what happened

    Where possible, we help build a clearer picture of where the money or crypto went and what evidence is needed to support your claim.

  • 3

    We challenge rejected claims

    Banks may reject scam claims by saying the payment was authorised. We can review that decision and challenge it where we believe more should have been done.

  • 4

    No win, no fee support

    There is nothing to pay upfront. We only take a fee if we successfully recover money for you.

The impact of crypto scams

The impacts

Crypto scams can cause serious financial loss and leave victims feeling powerless. The speed of crypto transactions can make recovery feel impossible, but taking advice quickly may improve your chances.

The emotional toll

Many victims feel embarrassed or angry, especially when the scam appeared professional. These frauds are carefully designed to look legitimate and manipulate trust.

Why quick action matters

The sooner you act, the better your chances of tracing payments, preserving evidence and challenging the bank or platform involved.

Case studies

Case 1

A client invested £18,000 through what appeared to be a professional crypto trading platform. The account showed steady growth, but when they tried to withdraw their funds, they were told to pay additional fees. We helped review the evidence, challenge the financial institutions involved and pursue recovery options.

Case 2

A client was contacted by someone claiming to be a crypto investment adviser. After several successful-looking trades, they were persuaded to send further payments. When communication stopped, it became clear the platform was fraudulent. We helped gather the transaction history and pursue a claim.

Case 3

A client was targeted through an online relationship and gradually encouraged to invest in cryptocurrency. The platform appeared genuine, but withdrawals were blocked. We helped identify the scam pattern, organise the evidence and challenge the bank’s response.
